(4,477 posts)3. When Winston Churchill became Prime Minister in 1951
He asked Claude Guillebaud, a Cambridge economist, to head a committee to study the performance and efficiency of the NHS. The Gillebaud committee found that the NHS was highly effective, and needed additional funding to insure that effectiveness would continue. Churchill gave the NHS that additional funding.
Even Margaret Thatcher realized that eliminating the NHS would be political suicide.
